What are the best jobs in Norway?

What type of jobs are needed in Norway?

• I am thinking of moving to Norway and I have a degree in Computer Science but can I get any jobs with that degree in Norway?

• Answer:

  The easiest way to get a job in Norway is to be an engineer or geologist, particularly in energy or the oil business. Almost every immigrant in a Norwegian language class I took here was an engineer. With computer science, it really depends on what you've specialized in and the skills you have. On the job bank sites, there are currently less than 20 jobs listed in Norway under computer science or programming. Most of them are in network development or graphic design. It's summer so people are hiring less, but there are still far fewer jobs than in a field like engineering. If you're highly specialized and educated, it will be easier. Although Norway doesn't have the same rule as countries in the EU, they'll still hire someone they don't have to sponsor over someone they do. That means you have to rely on a transfer, good contacts or actually being the best fit for the job.
